Varsity Union to begin strike on Monday

The senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) will begin a seven-day nation wide warning strike on Monday, December 10, to protest the non-payment of the Earned Allowances of non-teaching staff in universities as agreed in the 2009 FGN/SSANU Agreement.

The union has written to President Goodluck Jonathan and Minister of Education Prof. Ruqquatu Rufai, and copies forwarded to Minister of Labour Emeka Wogu and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).

SSANU National President, Comrade Samson Ugwoke, said the strike will affect all Federal and State Universities in the federation.
